In Lloyd's view, this 'academic paper' has no title, no introduction, no illustrations, no notes, no references, and even no signature.

Not only do I not know who wrote it, but I also don't know where it came from or when it was written?

The key is to make Lloyd feel that the author's motives are impure and ill-intentioned, although most of the pages are devoted to promoting the dangers of 'deep consciousness', but beyond the words, he is quietly encouraging more people to try, and believes that this can unearth real treasures and wealth.

That's why the three no-papers are harmful!

Lloyd cursed in his heart, and then thought of another question-

Why did I get such a paper when I was in the [Audience with the Holy One]?

Won't it ......

It was written by Hiltina, right?

Or is it ...... This is the black part from the spiral tower?

But that area looks like a different space, so the knowledge gained should be space-related, right? And how did you get involved in this kind of dead-grade paper?

He still remembers that this black color suddenly appeared after it was aligned with the hexahedron statue, and he thought it was related to space, but it didn't seem to be the case?

Lloyd was confused and wanted to find someone to discuss, it was Hiltina who was the best.

But she must be busy with other sages right now, right?

Lloyd could only shrug his shoulders in the end, leave the [Mind Realm], and then take out his pocket watch and look at the time.

It's almost 11 o'clock, so let's wait until tomorrow morning......

Because he fell asleep in the academy today, there was naturally no Elo by his side, and there was no cute elementary school girl, only the little milk cat by the pillow accompanied him to sleep.

But Lloyd fell asleep, when suddenly he heard a small, indistinct whisper in his ear, as if someone was speaking in his ear.

A sudden headache also struck, and inspiration and strange intuition instantly began to beat gongs and drums to prepare for the feast, which made him wake up suddenly.

Then I heard a prompt from the panel:

【Ding~Madness +5000】

What is it?

Dream?

I'm afraid it's not that simple......

Lloyd was scared for a while, and quickly opened the panel to check it.

The status is still [Normal]

There are no more hints, just the previous 5000 points.

But Lloyd could still remember clearly that the whisper was actually very short, so short that it was like a human saying hello.

If it weren't for a pain in my head, coupled with a timely reminder of inspiration and weird intuition, let this whisper say a few more words, the consequences may be unimaginable......

When you're asleep, the panel doesn't work......

Isn't that good...... Am I being targeted by some ruthless character?

Want to kill me in your sleep?

Or am I too inspired and I'm hearing something I shouldn't have heard?

The more Lloyd thought about it, the more confused his mind became, and the more uneasy he became.

The little milk cat next to the pillow was also woken up by him, and seemed to sense Lloyd's uneasiness, and hurriedly got into his arms, constantly selling cuteness, wanting to comfort his owner.

This made Lloyd relax a little, and quickly picked up the little milk cat and kissed it hard, then took a few deep breaths to force himself to calm down, and then looked at the time.

It was only 3 a.m., and it was still early in the morning.

But Lloyd was so worried that he didn't dare to sleep anymore, so he quickly took out the student handbook and tried to send a message to the dean to briefly explain the situation.

Unexpectedly, Dean Hazleder replied quickly:

"Come to my office."

Lloyd put down the kitten and let it continue to sleep, while he quickly opened a portal and went to the dean.

As soon as I landed, I felt a wave of inspiration come up and checked myself.

Then, a flashlight suddenly appeared in the air, and it was shaking while Lloyd was not looking.

"Alas, yo, alas! Blind, blind! ”

"Well, it's good to be blind, which means that the situation is not bad."

The dean said in a relieved tone, and sighed with emotion:

"It's good that you woke up fast enough, otherwise ......"

"So what happened to me?"

Lloyd grabbed a chair and sat down at the dean's desk, asking with trepidation.

"In a small probability event, you inadvertently come into contact with the [Mind Domain] that a high-level being has escaped, which is very dangerous."

"The [realm of thought] that exists in a high position? How could I have come across such a thing? I didn't do a 'deep dive' either, did I? ”

"Huh? How did you find out about 'Consciousness Diving'? ”

Lloyd hurriedly told the dean about today's [Audience with the Sage].

Then I heard the dean ask in a surprised tone:

"How is this possible?

'Consciousness diving' was completely banned long before the end of the world, most of the relevant literature records were destroyed, and even the word itself was listed as a taboo not to mention, even I only saw this term from the top secret documents of the past after I took over the academy. ”

"Huh? This ......"

Lloyd felt like he had touched the electric door, and he was numb.

"So I just went into my sleep and unconsciously took a 'deep dive of consciousness'? But I don't know anything about it, and the little knowledge I know describes its danger, which makes me wary of it. ”

"Some things don't have to be learned, it's about talent, or instinct, and your wariness of 'deep consciousness' inadvertently forms a ...... of attention to it."

The dean explained first, then conjured up a bibliographic record on the table, then flipped through it, and continued:

"This is a legacy of the glorious times of the past, and the 'deep dive of consciousness' in it is only a simple description, which is a very small part that was not destroyed back then, right?

According to the brief description above, 'deep diving' is undoubtedly an extremely dangerous suicidal behavior, and may be related to the subconscious, which means that many times, human beings will unconsciously make this dangerous behavior, so the more you pay attention to it, the deeper the impression will be left in the subconscious......

And according to some of my subsequent covert investigations, I found that the higher the inspiration, the faster the progress of the gifted student in the transcendent path, the greater the chance of encountering this kind of thing. ”

The dean's words reminded Lloyd of the advice of little Olga.

Those supreme geniuses who were young and in their early teens were third-order and fourth-order, without exception, all died halfway......

If nothing else, some geniuses encountered the previous thing, and then died in their sleep without resistance.

Although I am already a little old, I am in my early twenties, but I didn't expect to encounter this kind of thing?

And the trouble is that such a dangerous move is actually 'subconscious' and 'unconscious', which is too pitiful, right?

Lloyd vaguely felt that the danger involved in this 'deep dive of consciousness' was like an invisible shackle and shackle, wanting to impose some kind of restraint on human beings. Don't let the human race emerge with geniuses?

No, the idea is not perfect and there are many loopholes......

Although all the geniuses who were in a hurry died, there were still more solid and steady geniuses who were good at the end, such as the little Olga who was in her thirties and was a fifth-order, or the young housekeeper in the handbook.

They're just a little slower, and from the perspective of the grand narrative, the difference is completely minimal.

Could this not be some kind of shackles and restrictions, but some kind of screening?

Lloyd was thinking in a divergent voice, but heard the dean whisper remind:

"Don't think too much, don't ask too much."

Lloyd couldn't help but shudder, and quickly gathered back his thoughts.

It's so dangerous, I almost fell into it!

Lloyd had palpitations for a while, like this kind of thing involving the subconscious realm, the more he thought about it, the greater the probability of encountering it.

"So what should I do in the future? Don't you sleep all the time? ”

He hurriedly asked.

"No, no, although it is indeed dangerous, it is not 100% fatal, and it is not encountered every time you fall asleep."

Dean Hazleder comforted him for a moment, then reached out and scratched on the table, conjured up a table, and continued:

"Actually, you are not the first student to encounter this kind of thing in the academy, there have been many before you, but in the end, it is less than a hundred, only seventy percent."

"How much?!"

"Seventy percent...... Don't be too little, compared to the danger, the survival rate of 30% is already very high, right? What's more, this itself is also a small probability event. ”

"Uh...... Objectively speaking, it seems to be true...... But what if I become the seven one day? ”

Lloyd asked, still worried.

The dean didn't answer directly, but shed some inspiration, checked his body again, and then asked a very strange question:

"Are you already living with Hiltina? Sharing a bed every night? ”

"No!! No!!! No!!! ”

Lloyd stood up suddenly, waved his hand again and again, and quickly explained:

"I've always been a reserved and reserved conservative youth, not so bold."

"Huh? That's weird......"

The dean's invisible figure made a posture of rubbing his chin, and then asked:

"Is that guy tired of being with 0-266 every night?"

This...... How did he know?

Lloyd was a little panicked all of a sudden, there was a kind of scumbag who stepped on two boats, and was caught by his father-in-law in an embarrassing way.

He hurriedly forcibly defended:

"Also...... No, I'm in my house every night, and my sister can testify for me...... Why are you asking this all of a sudden? It's not relevant to our topic, right? ”

"It's not unrelated, it's closely related."

There was a bit of amusement in the dean's tone, as if he had seen through Lloyd's disguise, but he didn't pierce it, but changed his mouth and said:

"Your current spiritual power and inspiration are already about the same as the sixth order, and the rank is not bad, and at the same time, you are involved in the three systems, and you can also do a fourth-order, a third-order, and a beginner, which is already an incredible speed, surpassing all past records......

So your talent can't be said to be very good, it can only be said to be unprecedentedly excellent. ”

When the dean said this, he paused slightly, which made Lloyd's heart tighten, and he quickly thought about how to explain his excellence, and how to convince the dean that it was all based on his own hard work, not hanging.

As a result, the dean didn't dig into it at all, but even helped him find an excuse:

"Of course, this is actually normal for you, if you put it in the glorious era of the past, it will be a little stronger than those [Brilliant Gold] back then......

Therefore, according to your excellence, it is reasonable that you should have met the 'deep dive of consciousness' earlier, but the reason why you only met it today is because of the gaze and protection of the sage, which is the best way to prevent the 'deep dive of consciousness'.

Of course, this is not an ordinary gaze, but a more intimate and trusting one, just like your relationship with Hiltina. ”

After listening to this explanation, Lloyd kind of figured it out.

It turns out that he ran to play with Elolo every night, but he inadvertently protected himself?

And on the academy's side, it seems that Hiltina will run to her bed from time to time to 'steal food'?

In addition, this itself is also a small probability event, and I have never heard of 'deep diving', so I didn't catch up until today.

And if you continue to associate with this, this kind of thing is really more like 'screening' than 'shackles'?

Because he has been chosen by a sage, he will no longer be 'snatched away by others'?

Lloyd only thought about it briefly, but didn't dare to go any further, and continued to ask:

"That'...... How can I prevent this in the future? You can't really be with Hiltina every day, right? Not quite right? ”

"Won't you be able to get married as soon as possible? That way I can feel at ease......"

"No, no, no! She's a sage, I'm only a fourth-order rookie, and the gap is too big......"

"It seems to be the same...... The gap in strength and status is too big, and it is easy to cause emotional disharmony, not to mention that Hiltina is no longer able to fulfill the responsibilities of a normal wife, and it is easy to cause many contradictions......"

Lloyd was curious and wanted to ask what is the 'responsibility of a normal wife'? But before he could speak, he heard the dean continue to add:

"Why don't you move to a mental hospital? I can arrange an intensive care unit for you, and it should be safe. ”

No...... Who has nothing to do with going to a psychiatric hospital? I'm not crazy......

Lloyd sneered and asked again.

"Uh...... Is there a better way? ”

"You can use the credits to go to the medical department to exchange for some sleep aids, which can make you fall into a deep sleep state and minimize the activity of the brain, which should effectively reduce the probability, right?"

No...... Who has nothing to do? I'm not sick......

Lloyd also wanted to cry a little, so he had to put forward his own thoughts:

"Then I remember that some rituals, or incense, also have the effect of helping sleep, can you replace this with this?"

"Theoretically, it should be fine, the engineering department has similar equipment, you can ask for it."

The dean said, and then turned to persuade:

"But this way, after all, it's not as safe as having a sage by your side......"

"Well, I know, but Hiltina is everyone's Sage, and I still don't want her to worry too much about me."

The dean was silent for a moment, and then replied:

"It's good that you think that, it's just ...... Alas~ Forget it, I won't care much about your young people's affairs, in short, you don't have to worry too much, this kind of unconscious 'deep dive' is only a small probability event after all.

What's more, the first time you encountered it, you successfully woke up on your own, which is not easy...... So don't make yourself too nervous and too concerned, that will increase the probability. ”

"Well, okay, I see."

Lloyd nodded, and then asked another previous question:

"Then most of this knowledge related to 'deep diving', according to you, should have been destroyed, right? How did I learn? ”

"This ...... You can only ask Hiltina about what happened during the meeting with her, and I don't know as much about your [realm of thought] as she does. ”

"Okay......"

Lloyd nodded, and asked very boldly:

"Then since you met during the audience, will it be ......?"

"That's impossible, Hiltina doesn't know much about this 'deep dive of consciousness', after all, I don't even know much."

……………………

In this way, Lloyd passed this hurdle without danger and returned to the dormitory.

But I definitely can't sleep right now, so I just want to brush up on the student handbook.

But at this moment, he felt that his [projection] had become a little restless, and he wanted to come out of his body.

Lloyd hurriedly released the [projection], and then saw his childhood sweetheart come to his side.

"Huh? Why didn't you sleep? ”

Hiltina asked, a little strangely.

Lloyd then told her about the previous [Audience with the Sage] and the subsequent "deep consciousness".

But Hiltina's reaction was a little strange:

"Huh? You're just meeting now? I thought you'd meet earlier, but you seem to be lucky? ”

Hiltina must have known more about Lloyd's condition than Dean Hazled, and had already guessed that he would encounter such a thing.

But there are no reminders either......

Well, it's better not to be reminded of this kind of thing......

"So I'm curious, where did that knowledge come about?"

Lloyd was clearly more concerned about the anomalies in his [Mind Domain] right now.

The knowledge gained this time is a dangerous 'deep dive of consciousness', but what about the next time? Will you just stuff something horrible into your brain?

Hiltina was very interested in this question, so she twisted her chin and thought for a while, but finally shook her head helplessly.

"I'm sorry~ Lloyd, I don't know, because everyone's [thinking field] is too private, and I can only try to protect you, and this time I am also to blame for not being good, I am busy arguing with those guys, and I can't take care of you."

As she spoke, she showed a pitiful expression again, shook Lloyd's arm coquettishly, and whispered:

"I'll sleep with you every day from now on, okay? That way, you don't have to worry about this happening. ”

Lloyd scratched his head and said with a sneer:

"Ahaha...... I can handle it myself, after all, if I have to rely on you for even this little thing, what if I encounter more difficult things in the future? You are a sage, and you can't put too much effort into me alone. ”

"There's some truth to that, but you're not thinking about using this as an excuse to sneak in with that little girl in the City of Pleasure, right?"

"How is that possible? I'm sure I'm staying in my own house every night, and my sister Everol can testify! ”

"That's ...... too"

Hiltina nodded, but there was still a suspicious look on her face.

Lloyd was afraid that she would continue to ask, so he quickly diverted the topic:

"By the way, how did you discuss it with the other Sages? Is there a way to deal with the mutations out there? ”

Speaking of this, Hiltina suddenly smiled lightly and nodded.

"The results were unexpectedly good, and Bayer's mental state has recovered a lot, and he can give a lot of effective advice."
